Our motivationCurrent situation
Compliance & regional monitoring: Few monitoring stations
Information systems: low awareness
No real-time data where people are
Absence of personalized data: - what does air quality mean to me?
In 2011, 458 000 premature deaths in Europe were attributed to air pollution
Europe: annual cost of health impacts for mortality/morbidity, 1.575 trillion USD
Citi-Sense Goals
Developing Citizens’ Observatories with a variety of micro sensors
Integrating data analysis across data types and cities
Empowering citizens to influence community policy & decision making
- what does air quality mean to me? - what can I do?

CITI-SENSE aimsCITI-SENSE 2012-2016
Development of sensor based Citizens’ Observatory Community for improving quality of life in cities
Contribute to and participate in environmental Contribute to and participate in environmental governance
Support and influence community and policy priorities and decision making
Contribute to the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS)
Technological enabler: ICT, sensor devices.CITI-SENSE: FP7 R&I Grant agreement nº: 308524
Citizens’ observatories
Communities of users that will
share technological solutions, information products and services, and information products and services, and
community participatory methods,
thus complementing established environmental data and information systems and improving local environmental decision
making.

Are you interested in AQ?
Questionnaires and mobile apps to understand air quality perception
Interested
• Opinion on air quality and its effects on health• Accessibility and usefulness of air quality
information• Empowerment, who can improve air quality?
How?• How can we improve air quality information to

Low-cost sensor technologies
ChallengesinterestCitizen engagementPersonalized data
Data quality: error characteristics, long-term measurement capability
Maintenance of large sensor platform networks: sensor failures, data storage, data treatment, re-calibration.
Privacy and security: personal sensors (linked with position data)
Laboratory & Field
Challenge: Instrument performance and uncertainty
Validation and Calibration
Provide accurate and scientifically defendable information, fit for purpose. Otherwise data is useless.
Extensive evaluation of commercial low-cost platforms against CEN reference method analyzers
Results NO2: In laboratory r2 = 0.9In the field, the highest r2 was 0.51
22 out of 24 pods had r2<0.47 out of 24 pods had r2<0.2
The performance varies:

A map for your city?
Create a static basemap for your city
Retrieve crowdsourced sensor observations at each hour (other data can also be used)
Modify the basemap with latest observations using geostatistical data fusion
Final result - hourly maps with the current best guess for the NO2/PM10/PM2.5 concentrations at all locations

In summary: Public engagementin environmental governance
• Technologically enabled Citizens’ Observatories allow:
• Involvement of different actors/stakeholders -• Involvement of different actors/stakeholders -better results (decision-making, implementation)
• Different forms of public engagement – from collecting contributions only to active participationin problem framing, design, data collection, interpretation and implementing measures
• Technologies: fit for purpose
